mid 30s may get to 50. If it dries out this afternoon I'll get a start on mowing the front law(n). Maybe some bridge this evening.

31F but should be mostly sunny and warming to the 50s later.
bureaucracy sucks, Bruce.
I'm sure there's stuff that needs to be caught up, guess that's what I'll do after chores.
Nephew ran in the High School National Indoor 5K yesterday, he'd never run an indoor 5K before. I'm just impressed as hell that he qualified for it.

is there any good news out there? My mother swears by The Economist. My problem is that just about any news just pisses me off. Are you sure you’re talking about news? FOX news pisses me off. Just about anything they say pisses me off. I disagree with all of it. Even the commercials. MSNBC pisses me off, but in a different way. They can get me fired up, just as they intended. But NEWS, reporting recent facts and events without trying to shape your opinions and perceptions, can bore me, interest me, and when it comes to sensitive subjects like Trump or McConnell’s latest, is more likely to make me laugh than to get angry. That which is selected as a news item, whether it's slanted or not, usually exposes some form of human stupidity/venality/insanity. and that just pisses me off. I want to believe people are better than that.

Home again. Still need to unload the pickup. temps in the 40s maybe get into the 50s later. There are pink clouds in the sky, so it may be a nice day. The doggies are happy I'm home, they got to sleep inside last night. going into town to pickup the repaired amp later.
back to the normal grind

last day in Kingman, the weather is going out of it's way make me feel at home: 30F and humidity in the 30% range (high). Might get warmer later. at least there hasn't been any snow.
Trip to the herbal store in Laughlin today for some meds for Chris. Then finishing packing up for the trip north - it's been a good few days of laughter and only a few tears.

Since it's not a Martin I'll have to guess at how it's put together. If it's a modern two way truss rod you will have to remove the fingerboard, possibly the whole neck too. Single action truss rod nuts can sometimes just be loosened and replaced. I have had to widen the access hole in the top brace to get the nut out on some guitars. Most of the time I have to remove the neck. If it is a bolt on neck getting to the T-rod nut is fairly easy, but again, if it is a two way rod the fingerboard may have to be removed. There are self fulcrum rods that can be easily pulled from the neck and a new one shoved in, but only if the access is at the headstock, otherwise the neck must be removed. so you're saying expensive

He's here, I'm sitting at his desk, typing on his computer in his music room, his cargo hanging on the wall. not quite the hardest thing I've ever done but it's close. I've been tempted to use his logon and post an 'I'ze here' just for grins and giggles. He counted you all as friends (even those he didn't agree with). thanks for asking How is Chris getting along? Please let her know she is thought of here. As expected she misses him terribly, we've each had our bouts with trickling tears. She's getting around as well as can be expected with the long-term effects of childhood polio and osteoporosis. While she moves slow she gets where she's going and does what has to be done. While here I met her neighbor who has become a good friend to Chris and I'm less worried about her now than when I started the visit. Of course I'll tell her y'all are thinking of her. If you'd like to contact her directly, ask and I'll PM her email and street address (for those old fashioned folks)

seems to be warming up in Kingman 50F going to somewhere in the 60s.
Discovered yesterday that my little pickup isn't enough to tow a little dinky ATV, so that problem's solved for another year.

cold in Kingman, but sunny. Conference call with mom and sis and financial planner later. Hopefully just informational. Lots of stuff to do.
